I've got an Ironman Bob Head.. I bought for me but gave my SO cause he's the one in an open relationship with his nerdiness.
I've got a R2D2 statue I also bought for me but gave him
I've got a Darth Vader led lamp I also gave him but is really mine
I've Cosplayed and no, I'm not sharing pics.
I've played dungeons&dragons
I've been to not 1 but 6 gaming conventions.
I've played WOW for more than 300 days in total.
I've read almost every Orson Scott book
I've read almost every Star Wars book
I've watched Star trek so many times I can't even count it
I've read almost every Douglas Adams book
I actually own a bloody gaming company and we've released 2 mobile games so far. The third one is on it's way and I'm currently trying to find the motivation to finish the story for the fourth.
And I bloody hell know that the answer to the life, the universe and everything is 42
So there.. I'm out.

Just current, I had one as a kid that was all about Boba Fett and his background but I don't remember the name but that was my favorite
I've called my 5yr old son Boba since birth, probably never going to change...

The Thrawn Trilogy is in my queue. However the convert to Legends vs Canon really killed any desire to read more of the Legends material.0 -

If I could find unabridged audio versions of the new jedi order series... I would so go for it...
I didn't like what they did with the legends series either but I understand why... What's the fun of watching movies where everyone already knows what happens0 -
That's it for star wars...
But I've read all the Harry Potters
And have listened to over 50 audiobooks
Most are nonfiction but of the fiction...
I loved the Night Angel TrilogyGimsteinn1 wrote: »What else have you read @JstTheWayIam ?

I haven't tried those yet...
I did get the first book in the Wheel of Time series but just haven't gotten into yet... Gonna give it another chance though
I'll try name of the wind... That sounds good..
I also read the first book in the Age of Myth series... There is supposed to be 5 with the next coming out this summer... It was really good, can't wait for the next one...
The night angel trilogy is pretty graphic but the story is epic...
I absolutely loved Harry Potter too... The movies just don't measure up... Don't even want my kid to see them before reading the books0 -
Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh!

New Marvel characters! Think this will make up for Thor 2!
Selected screen shots
Hela! (rawrz)
Was it Loki that released her maybe?
Valkaries
Scruge
Planet Hulk?
So much more to see in that trailer

In the comics it was destroyed a few times but always reforged. Maybe he'll go to the axe?

I really liked the first one..

_har_T_Swallow wrote: »yeah but its one of those decisions that always seems dumb in retrospect if it just gets reforged. i think it would've been 10x as holy *kitten* if instead of destroying it, Hela had just taken it for herself. i mean "worthiness" is such a subjective term...even an "evil" person could be considered "worthy" if they believe in what they're doing.
Meh, I see it as layering and establishing a hierarchy of power in these movies and such. Where Thor has been master of the domain with Mjolnir, we know he is not a God, not supreme so something has to take that next level up. Doesn't make it useless at keeping him at a level of power above most others (or I should say reforging the hammer allows him to maintain a power level), but I think will start to play into that balance of powers among all the Marvel characters. Leads to all the questions of how this will all tie together anyway. Think about infinity stones and how powerful they are said to be, or the Celestials in Guardians. Or what about Doctor Strange and that ending? Not sure how that magic will play in too.

Wheel of Time is my literary jam. If you like Martin and Rothfuss, chances are you will like WoT. Definitely give Eye of the World another try. By The Dragon Reborn you will be hooked. The Fires of Heaven is my favorite in the series. It does lull from books 7-11 but picks back up as it climaxes.0 -

idk i just felt like it was a cheap pop moment that won't matter by the end of the movie, which is kind of a problem with the marvel movies in general and i hate seeing them continue it.
i'm mostly salty just because we haven't gotten Adam Warlock and the soul gem yet though.
She was appointed by Odin to be Godess of the dead, so what power she has he gave. But Odin knows how the balance of power works overall, so that might be all part of it. I am curious to see where he fits into this battle for Asgard.

I didn't think Batman v Superman deserved all the negative reviews it got... I liked it...
Yeah it's not art, but was entertaining and clever despite the lack of levity you see in the marvel movies...
Darknight is still the best of the genre...
Since then I've learned to just lower my standards0
